Top Gun: Maverick has surpassed $900m (£737m) at the box office, and is on course to cross the $1bn threshold.
In a four-star review for The Independent, Clarisse Loughrey said: “Top Gun: Maverick really isn’t packed with the kind of craven nostalgia that we’re used to these days.
Maverick has enjoyed strong reviews following its release, with Cruise’s performance and the film’s aerial stunt work receiving particular praise.
The latest figures make Tom Cruise’s legacy sequel only the third Hollywood film to make $900 since the pandemic began.
